No Name to Pay (versione 2)

Verse 1

Concrete floor beneath my boots again

City breathing, counting every beat like rain

Every face I know is a name I've left behind

Chasing something the streets can't find

The cold gets in through every seam I wear

Every block repeats and there's no escape to share

I know the corner where the sirens start tonight

This city owns my name before I even light up the street

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what's real when everything burns down

What am I running for if this whole town goes under?

Chorus

No name left to answer at the door tonight

The only thing that keeps me here is burning bright

Hands up in the dark, I'm not who they called before

I don't need a home when the whole city falls apart on the floor

Verse 2

Every bill I got is a contract I forgot to sign

Rent's due tomorrow but tonight feels like mine

The mirror reflection stares back at a stranger now

Someone else paid the taxes, I just bought the hour somehow

I've got a phone number nobody can find my name by

Cash on an ATM that never asks why

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what's real when everything burns down

What am I running for if this whole town goes under?

Chorus

No name left to answer at the door tonight

The only thing that keeps me here is burning bright

Hands up in the dark, I'm not who they called before

I don't need a home when the whole city falls apart on the floor

Bridge

Maybe I was never born to be remembered as one soul

Maybe this whole nameless life is just what makes me whole

No lightbulb left above my bed but I still know how to start a fire

This isn't running from who I've been

This is being something that nobody can give a name to yet

Chorus

No name left to answer at the door tonight

The only thing that keeps me here is burning bright

Hands up in the dark, I'm not who they called before

I don't need a home when the whole city falls apart on the floor
